Gasparillo Island is a small, uninhabited islet just off the Chaguaramas Peninsula, best known for its iconic lighthouse that has guided ships since the early 20th century. Visitors typically arrive by private boat or as part of a tour, climbing the lighthouse for sweeping vistas of the Bocas Islands and the Gulf of Paria. The island's rocky shoreline and sparse vegetation create a rugged, serene atmosphere perfect for photography and quiet contemplation. Its proximity to Trinidad makes it a popular stop for day-trippers exploring the Bocas del Dragón.
